Unlimited Food Plan
Chapter 63 Medieval 15
The girl who signed up to go to the sugar factory was happily telling her family that she had been selected,? Then she was packing her luggage diligently, with tears of joy in her eyes.
Du Changqiu didn't know anything about it, he was frowning and looking at the dormitory of the female workers.
"We can't let them live like this." Du Changqiu looked at a large room, a new bed that smelled like wood, and only some hay on it, frowning enough to kill mosquitoes.
"It's better than what they live at home. How many people just sleep on the ground? There are beds here, and they're covered with fresh hay. Look, there's still heat from the fireplace. It's very warm, girl." You guys will love this place." I have to say, the gap between the times is too huge,? Butler George and sister Veronica are kind people, and they specially gave girls It can be seen from the fireplace for heating.
This is something that rich people can use nowadays, even though the dormitory for girls does not need to spend extra money on firewood for heating because of the sugar-dyed stove all the year round, but building a fireplace is not a small sum of money.
So Butler George is right, the girls must be very happy in this warm and dry room, even if there is only hay.
But in the eyes of Du Changqiu, a later generation, putting dozens of girls in one room and letting them sleep on hay is really unacceptable to his concept.
You must know that the configuration of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses in the livestock house is basically the same, but the heating is missing.
Even the girls live at home, maybe they are not dissatisfied with this environment, but Du Changqiu still does not intend to just accept this setting, he thinks that on the basis of his ability, he wants the workers to be able to Live a slightly more comfortable and decent life.
For Du Changqiu, this is actually no burden.
Because he can think of ways to make more money at any time.
Moreover, in the warehouse, there are a lot of linen cloth newly produced this year, both thick and thin, and there are also many linen cloths that are not bright enough after several years. These things are not very valuable, but they are also hard currency, so the lords are basically They will not sell it, but habitually save it like saving money.
Cotton cloth has begun to appear in Tirenwana, and except for high-end, intricately dyed finished skirts, the price of cotton cloth has dropped ten times faster than what Du Changqiu heard a few years ago in Charlie's memory. Rare things of their own status can now be used by small and valuable manor owners. According to the historical process Du Changqiu understands, it is estimated that it will only take ten years for cotton cloth to become the mainstream product after the elimination of linen.
Putting these burlap there will become less and less valuable in the future. It is better to take it out and use it as the workers of your own factory. After a good environment, the female workers can live comfortably and work harder.From Du Changqiu's point of view, this is undoubtedly something that can benefit both of them.
Although I probably know that this era is in the process of serfs turning to the feudal era. Throughout the feudal era, these serfs and peasants will be trapped on the land of the manor by the lord, but since Du Changqiu has arrived, while helping Charlie, he feels that You can do something by yourself.
Because he has this ability, and he is not willing to just be a master Charlie that the serfs are grateful for. He hopes to at least create a prosperous Wiltshire Manor where everyone can have hope and smile.
If you are an incompetent person, it is not advisable to cut off your own flesh to help others, and it will appear naive and stupid.But if it was Du Changqiu who was capable of doing it, it would be another matter.
Of course, George doesn't understand Du Changqiu's thoughts now, and Du Changqiu didn't intend to let him understand. He just looked at a few dormitories for the female workers, and then ordered George to lead someone to clean up all the hay, then turned around and followed Veronica, who was by her side, went to find her eldest sister-in-law Anne.
"I need your help, Annie." When Du Changqiu found Annie, she was leading the girls to do handicrafts. Except for Veronica who took someone to the winery, the other girls were here. Du Changqiu hugged her Hold them, just say to Annie.
"What happened?" Annie saw Du Changqiu rushing over with Veronica, and quickly stood up. She thought something bad had happened, and immediately asked anxiously.
In the end, after hearing Du Changqiu make it clear that Annie knew about Veronica's management of the sugar factory recently, she couldn't help but look at Veronica. Seeing Veronica also looked blank, she knew it was Du Changqiu's own After deciding, I couldn't help repeating in disbelief: "You mean, let me gather the maids and sew some quilts and pillows for the women workers in the sugar factory?"
"Not only the sugar factory, but also the men in the winery." Du Changqiu replied very naturally. He couldn't find fast workers at the moment. At present, it seems that the dozens of maids in the family are ready-made strong men who need urgent labor. Crashing work, of course, the first thing he thought of was the surplus labor force.
"Charlie, my brother, this is not a small amount of money!" Annie was very shocked. She couldn't help trying to persuade Du Changqiu, but she was a very measured woman. Although she didn't agree with it, as an old-fashioned lady, Annie understood one thing. The thing is, she may know how to run a manor, but she doesn't know how to run a factory.
Well, since she didn't understand, Annie decided to believe the judgment of the person in charge of the Wilt Manor after a brief tangle, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and said to Du Changqiu: "Okay, I'll make preparations and go now Get the maids to start working."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will need it for the female workers' report tomorrow morning. I have to trouble you to watch everyone hurry up and make the quilts for the workers in the dormitory of the sugar factory first." Du Changqiu actually planned that if Annie strongly objected, he would not force others. But in the end, he found that although Annie was gentle and conservative, she at least knew how to measure, which made Du Changqiu very happy.
He explained his requirements to Annie in detail, and the biggest requirement was to be simple and capable.
There is no need for any embellishment or extra frills. The size of the Datong shop is made directly according to the size of the female worker's dormitory built next to the sugar factory. The woolen wool is used as the filling for the bedding, and the pillows are stuffed. Dried wheat bran is fine.
Slub wool is the output of those sheep in the manor. It is the wool that has not been separated after being scraped off this summer, washed, cleaned and dried. It cannot be spun to make woolen dresses, but the warmth retention effect is still very good, and it is relatively cheap. .
This is not a difficult task for the maids. It is estimated that at night, there will be clean and brand new mattresses on top of the cleaned bunks.
Veronica took the initiative to stay and help her sister-in-law. She stuffed the wool thickly without saving any materials. All the maids in the manor put down their work and rushed to work overnight.
So the next morning, the girls who bid farewell to their families and came to report were shocked by the new dormitory one by one.
Including Hathaway.
When Hathaway came, she had nothing on her body, except for the tattered skirt on her body, she had nothing on her body.
Together with the other girls, she curiously walked across the never-before-passed bridge, through the meadow along the river outside the fence of the manor, all the way to the sugar factory on the west side.
An iron gate was opened in the hole in the wall here, and the girls lined up to go in, feeling infinitely nervous, but they didn't expect that as soon as they walked in, there was a long corridor as far as the eye could see.
On the right side of the corridor is the closed private territory belonging to the manor. Turn left and walk through it, and you can see a large house.
There is a chimney in the house. Go around the corridor and walk to the gate, and you will see a neat stove full of deep iron pots. Next to these sugar-boiling rooms are countless wooden frames, which can be clearly seen , the contents exposed in the wooden frame are bright red beets.
Everyone was a little surprised, and didn't understand why they saw so many cheap beets here, but no one made a sound, and they continued to follow quietly one by one, not daring to fall behind. Unexpectedly, after a few more steps, they felt The footsteps stopped.
"Good day, dear Miss Veronica." Andre, who brought the female workers in, greeted the young lady very respectfully, then turned and left.
Seeing that Dere, who brought them in, had gone away, the women were a little uneasy. Fortunately, they heard a man's voice right afterward. It was George's butler's voice. Hathaway listened very carefully, and soon understood that standing on everyone's The noble lady in front of her, wearing a beautiful blue dress and wearing polite clothes of the same color, is the eldest lady of Damon's family, and she is also the future manager of the sugar factory.
"There are four dormitories in total, with 30 people in each dormitory. Everyone stands up separately." Veronica definitely didn't need to speak out by herself. Butler George taught her for half a month. She helped her father manage the manor after her mother passed away. After all, there is still a bit of foundation, at least the maid next to her knew to stand up at this time, and began to arrange the girls separately according to her ideas.
Hathaway ignorantly followed the crowd and stood up, and then she was assigned to her own room. She followed the crowd into her room, and then all the girls let out a cry of surprise—as soon as they entered the door, I saw a spacious and bright room, with sunlight streaming in from the big windows, and everything in the room was white and bright.
Yes, clean and white.
The walls of the entire room were plastered with Roman cement, and so was the floor. There was no mud at all. On the left and right sides of the house and by the windows were three large pavements, each of which was neatly paved with a white, one-piece It looks like a very soft and thick bedding.
Even the girls from the free folks were stunned by this scene. They felt that they were dreaming. Even the rich free folks only had enough to eat. They basically relied on hay and cheap furs as the main materials to keep warm in winter. At most, compared with the sharecropper's girls, there is one more dress for washing, and a little more warm fur coat or thick woolen sweater.
Where have they seen such a scene?
"Everyone go to open the storage drawer under the bed, there are your clothes in it, each of you has two sets of overalls, wash your whole body first, and then start learning how to make sugar!" Before they can marvel at why this room is so good , and even some girls felt uneasy about this, for fear that they were tricked into going to the manor to do something bad, so the maid in charge of their room spoke up.
This remark made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were really boiled sugar, as long as they were not intended to raise them like noble ladies and then sell them to strange people.
The girls around were all relieved, and Hathaway had already stepped forward to pull the drawer hard. Because there is no slide rail technology now, the drawer is not so smooth to use. Hathaway pulled it out, but when she saw the inside, For a moment, she was a little afraid to take the skirt inside.
It was a brand-new linen dress. The fabric was slightly yellowed after being placed for a long time. In Hathaway's eyes, it was so white that people dare not touch it.
"Take a pair of overalls, hurry up and assemble!" The urging voice sounded, Hathaway didn't dare to delay, she stretched out her hands that were darkened by years of hard work, took a set of clothes, and hurriedly followed the large army.
On the same day, everyone was rushed to the bathroom and scrubbed their bodies vigorously. When they went out wrapped in large linen towels, the maids had to check every exposed corner. .
Without the help of any products, only relying on hot water, these girls rubbed mud all over their bodies. Hathaway felt that her body was lighter. The hot water opened up the pores of her whole body. She only felt that in this life The body has never been so warm.
But she didn't have time to think about it. The cleaned girls put on brand new work clothes in the changing room. There were even girls' short clothes and half trousers. Fortunately, the lady who prepared them was Veronica. , although the girls were shy, they happily went out with a new look from the inside out, and began to formally learn how to cook sugar.
This is much easier than they imagined. The girls in each room are responsible for the processing of a room, cutting beets, boiling hot water to boil beets and boiling sugar residue, and then learning to use molds to pour sugar juice and move it out to cool on the prepared shelf. After cooling, demould them and put them in boxes lined with linen and pack them quickly.
After really knowing how to boil sugar, everyone got started very quickly. Steam was coming from the chimney, and the sugar factory was officially in operation.
Hathaway is more clever, she quickly changed from the job in charge of shredding to the person in charge of stirring sugar, and within a few days, she became the person in charge of demoulding.
She cherishes this job very much, and she feels that every day is full of strength. Every girl is like this. They sleep in a warm room, lie in a soft quilt, and eat very full every day. They feel that such a day is like a dream. Same.
"This is heaven, I wish I could stay here forever." At night, the girls were lying on the bunk and talking quietly. Although Hathaway didn't make a sound, she felt that the girls also spoke her heart.
In her life, she has never been so clean and decent, full of food, and sleeping on a soft mattress like this time.
The daughters of small merchants and gentlemen in the city probably lived just like this, right?
Hathaway's thoughts were also everyone's thoughts, so the girls broke out with unprecedented initiative. They were not urged by the maids sent by Veronica every day, and everyone was unwilling to stop their work.
"Eating and drinking is a terrible expense for us every day. If Master Charlie can't make money, we will be driven away and replaced by maids to cook sugar!" The girls whispered the rumors they had speculated in private, and Very confident and confident.
Because they got too much, which was rich that they never got in their life.
So they even felt panic because of this, for fear of losing money to Master Charlie, and they had to watch Veronica every day before going to rest.
Veronica quietly watched the girls busy in the sugar factory. At first, she didn't understand why her brother spent such a large amount of money, even prior to rectifying the manor, he had to clean up the environment first. so good.
From Veronica's point of view, this seemed like a deal that wasn't worth spending at all.After all, she has heard from her father, elder brother and mother since she was born that she must be careful of these greedy inferiors and don't give them a chance, otherwise they will seize every opportunity to steal the master's wealth.
But now, Veronica watched all this slowly. After seeing the girls found that some mice ran to eat beets, they spontaneously caught mice in the middle of the night, and hated that they had to put "those dirty, hateful stinky mice" in shifts. "After being driven away so as not to harm the property of the factory...
Veronica felt that she understood what her brother was trying to teach her.
Perhaps in this world, countless manor owners have citizens and slaves, but the way her brother taught her is to have a group of workers whose eyes slowly light up and smiles on their faces.
And when they feel that they are also a part of this factory, when they have a strong sense of belonging, they will burst out the ability to surprise everyone.
Du Changqiu didn't know it at all. Where he didn't notice at all, his eldest sister Veronica learned the most important lesson in management "how to stimulate the subjective initiative of employees" without a teacher.
During this period of time, he has been busy with the research and development of cider and the renovation of the manor—based on the experience of building the toilets of the sugar factory, he finally understood how to remodel the toilets of the manor.
Because of the social atmosphere, the Damon family's manor originally did not have a bathroom, so after becoming Charlie, Du Changqiu could only wipe his body with a towel every day, wash his face and soak his feet, and was never as comfortable as taking a bath.
He has been looking forward to an early solution to this most important cleaning problem.After all, this place is different from the world of orcs. The orc tribes have pure rivers that are not polluted. As for the river water here, Du Changqiu thought about whether he should just go to the river to wash it when he couldn't stand it anymore, and ended up going to the river to test it. , Good guy, not surprisingly, all kinds of bacteria such as Escherichia coli exceeded the standard.
Du Changqiu naturally didn't dare to wash it anymore, if he got some skin disease, in this day and age, no cure could be cured.Later, due to lack of manpower and busy construction of factories, the construction of washrooms in the two densely populated factories had to be prioritized. Du Changqiu just waited and waited until the midwinter came, and finally the group of people finally got the wine. The factory lavatories have been fixed.
At this time, it was already unbearably cold, and it was already deep winter. Du Changqiu did not make any preparations for the drainage in the manor, but chose to rebuild two bathrooms directly.
After hearing from George that Roman Cement had finished building two factories, there was still a lot of surplus. Du Changqiu also enthusiastically told George that he would build a bathtub, and then left it to George to arrange.
At this moment, sugar boiling and a winery were being built in a big way outside, so George came to find him and said that the bathroom at home had been remodeled.
When George found Du Changqiu, Du Changqiu was making a fuss about some irregular lumps of yellow and black.
Just like the apple cider vinegar with several flavors produced by researching and developing apple cider before, this time he obviously made soap according to the method in the data, and every step was correct, but why did the inspection after each fermentation, and the finished product of each batch still come out like this? A shape that deforms when pinched? !
And Fan Xing was still mocking Du Changqiu ruthlessly, "Hahaha, you made shit!"
Du Changqiu saw that his smiling face was disfigured, his arrogance was really unsightly, and anger grew from the bottom of his heart to the side of the gall.
"I remembered, you haven't bathed with soap in your life, have you?!" Du Changqiu narrowed his eyes, showing the expression of grandma wolf.
Fan Xing's face froze, knowing it was not good, she turned around and wanted to slip away, but Du Changqiu grabbed the horns of her head!
Du Changqiu grabbed the calf and won't let it go!
Although the homemade soap he made doesn't know why it looks very ugly, it can't be molded, and the color is not good... But since Fan Xing wants to laugh at him, don't blame him for being rude!
It just so happened that the two of them hadn't taken a bath since they came to this world, and they almost stink!The bathroom just finished, and the soap has fermented and is ready to use...
Thinking about it, Du Changqiu cheerfully dragged Fan Xing, who was very reluctant, to the bathroom.
Bathrooms are naturally separated for men and women. Du Changqiu's bathroom here was rebuilt from a small room not far from him. There are no mature drainage pipes in the manor yet, but when remodeling this bathroom, Du Changqiu had already buried the pipes , If you have money in the future, you only need to connect it.
Of course, there are no convenient pipes that can be fired to pre-buried, so these pipes are all made of stone and Roman cement. This is a bit expensive and troublesome, but it can be used for many years.
In fact, Du Changqiu saw in the materials that the ancient Roman Empire used this method to build an underground drainage system in the park in the 6th century, and that drainage system was still in service until the arrival of the Great Freeze, and persisted for more than 2000 years. The amazing thing is that after the great freeze, humans returned to their homes. It is said that after washing, the West is still using those drainage systems.
After learning about it at the time, Du Changqiu was very emotional while discussing with his friends, these people are really bad guys.
I said that as a joke at the time, but I have to say that I am quite happy to use it.
It is also because of the pre-buried drainage system that it is more convenient for Du Changqiu to bathe Fanxing. After he ordered, a manservant brought hot water and poured buckets of hot water into the big iron bucket. Then Du Changqiu opened the valve. Hot water sprayed down the pipes from his custom-made shower head.
Hull, the only blacksmith in the village, is amazed by Master Charlie's whimsy every time. He has been ingenious all his life, and his armor and saddles have always been the best. He never thought that one day he would make things that he didn't know every time. What is it for.
However, although Hull didn't know the purpose, he was outstanding in craftsmanship. Every time Du Changqiu explained clearly, what he received was exactly the same, and it was the same at this moment. .
Fanxing was unprepared and was sprayed all over his body.
"Don't move!" Fanxing wanted to escape on the spot, but Du Changqiu grabbed his head. Du Changqiu actually didn't have much strength, at least if Fanxing really wanted to run, Du Changqiu would definitely not be able to stop him.
But of course Fanxing will not really struggle with all his strength, because his person is too weak, and Fanxing is afraid of hurting him.
But he really didn't want to take a bath, and was very dissatisfied with it. Du Changqiu was still laughing wildly. The next second, Fanxing swayed his body wildly. Du Changqiu had no time to dodge, and was drenched by the raindrops.
"Don't try to run away! At worst, I'll take a shower with you!" Du Changqiu didn't care at all, he was going to take a bath anyway, and now he grabbed Fan Xing, wet his body carefully, and then rubbed it Rubbing his hands, he excitedly took a shapeless piece of soap and smeared it on Fan Xing's body.
After the white linen robe got wet, it became half-hidden and half-transparent, completely sticking to the body, allowing the curves of the body to be fully revealed.
Charlie's facial features are five points similar to Du Changqiu's, but his figure is eight to nine points similar. They are both very tall and lean. The cloth is glued to it, and you can vaguely see very well-proportioned muscle lines. The waist is very thin, but Because of these clear lines, people don't feel weak, and they clearly know the power it contains.
The golden hair was also wet, sticking to the face, setting off the snow-white skin, like a layer of maple syrup poured on the snow-white milk.
But these are not places that attract Fanxing's eyes. Fanxing's head was on Du Changqiu's chest just now. Through the wet clothes, Fanxing saw the looming skin on Du Changqiu's chest.
Fanxing doesn't pay attention to his person's appearance, because the appearance will change with time, he cares more about the shining soul light in this person's body.
This is a very beautiful soul, clean, powerful, and shining. This soul is far more beautiful and powerful than the body/body he has, so when he is happy, he will have a clean, star-like glow.
Fan Xing likes this kind of glow, he instinctively gets close to such a clean and powerful soul, so he was stunned for a moment.

Du Changqiu didn't know anything about it, he was frowning and looking at the dormitory of the female workers.
"We can't let them live like this." Du Changqiu looked at a large room, a new bed that smelled like wood, and only some hay on it, frowning enough to kill mosquitoes.
"It's better than what they live at home. How many people just sleep on the ground? There are beds here, and they're covered with fresh hay. Look, there's still heat from the fireplace. It's very warm, girl." You guys will love this place." I have to say, the gap between the times is too huge,? Butler George and sister Veronica are kind people, and they specially gave girls It can be seen from the fireplace for heating.
This is something that rich people can use nowadays, even though the dormitory for girls does not need to spend extra money on firewood for heating because of the sugar-dyed stove all the year round, but building a fireplace is not a small sum of money.

But in the eyes of Du Changqiu, a later generation, putting dozens of girls in one room and letting them sleep on hay is really unacceptable to his concept.

"I need your help, Annie." When Du Changqiu found Annie, she was leading the girls to do handicrafts. Except for Veronica who took someone to the winery, the other girls were here. Du Changqiu hugged her Hold them, just say to Annie.
"What happened?" Annie saw Du Changqiu rushing over with Veronica, and quickly stood up. She thought something bad had happened, and immediately asked anxiously.

So the next morning, the girls who bid farewell to their families and came to report were shocked by the new dormitory one by one.
Including Hathaway.

Where have they seen such a scene?
"Everyone go to open the storage drawer under the bed, there are your clothes in it, each of you has two sets of overalls, wash your whole body first, and then start learning how to make sugar!" Before they can marvel at why this room is so good , and even some girls felt uneasy about this, for fear that they were tricked into going to the manor to do something bad, so the maid in charge of their room spoke up.
This remark made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were really boiled sugar, as long as they were not intended to raise them like noble ladies and then sell them to strange people.
The girls around were all relieved, and Hathaway had already stepped forward to pull the drawer hard. Because there is no slide rail technology now, the drawer is not so smooth to use. Hathaway pulled it out, but when she saw the inside, For a moment, she was a little afraid to take the skirt inside.
It was a brand-new linen dress. The fabric was slightly yellowed after being placed for a long time. In Hathaway's eyes, it was so white that people dare not touch it.
"Take a pair of overalls, hurry up and assemble!" The urging voice sounded, Hathaway didn't dare to delay, she stretched out her hands that were darkened by years of hard work, took a set of clothes, and hurriedly followed the large army.
On the same day, everyone was rushed to the bathroom and scrubbed their bodies vigorously. When they went out wrapped in large linen towels, the maids had to check every exposed corner. .
Without the help of any products, only relying on hot water, these girls rubbed mud all over their bodies. Hathaway felt that her body was lighter. The hot water opened up the pores of her whole body. She only felt that in this life The body has never been so warm.
But she didn't have time to think about it. The cleaned girls put on brand new work clothes in the changing room. There were even girls' short clothes and half trousers. Fortunately, the lady who prepared them was Veronica. , although the girls were shy, they happily went out with a new look from the inside out, and began to formally learn how to cook sugar.
This is much easier than they imagined. The girls in each room are responsible for the processing of a room, cutting beets, boiling hot water to boil beets and boiling sugar residue, and then learning to use molds to pour sugar juice and move it out to cool on the prepared shelf. After cooling, demould them and put them in boxes lined with linen and pack them quickly.
After really knowing how to boil sugar, everyone got started very quickly. Steam was coming from the chimney, and the sugar factory was officially in operation.
Hathaway is more clever, she quickly changed from the job in charge of shredding to the person in charge of stirring sugar, and within a few days, she became the person in charge of demoulding.
She cherishes this job very much, and she feels that every day is full of strength. Every girl is like this. They sleep in a warm room, lie in a soft quilt, and eat very full every day. They feel that such a day is like a dream. Same.
"This is heaven, I wish I could stay here forever." At night, the girls were lying on the bunk and talking quietly. Although Hathaway didn't make a sound, she felt that the girls also spoke her heart.
In her life, she has never been so clean and decent, full of food, and sleeping on a soft mattress like this time.
The daughters of small merchants and gentlemen in the city probably lived just like this, right?
Hathaway's thoughts were also everyone's thoughts, so the girls broke out with unprecedented initiative. They were not urged by the maids sent by Veronica every day, and everyone was unwilling to stop their work.
"Eating and drinking is a terrible expense for us every day. If Master Charlie can't make money, we will be driven away and replaced by maids to cook sugar!" The girls whispered the rumors they had speculated in private, and Very confident and confident.
Because they got too much, which was rich that they never got in their life.
So they even felt panic because of this, for fear of losing money to Master Charlie, and they had to watch Veronica every day before going to rest.
Veronica quietly watched the girls busy in the sugar factory. At first, she didn't understand why her brother spent such a large amount of money, even prior to rectifying the manor, he had to clean up the environment first. so good.
From Veronica's point of view, this seemed like a deal that wasn't worth spending at all.After all, she has heard from her father, elder brother and mother since she was born that she must be careful of these greedy inferiors and don't give them a chance, otherwise they will seize every opportunity to steal the master's wealth.
But now, Veronica watched all this slowly. After seeing the girls found that some mice ran to eat beets, they spontaneously caught mice in the middle of the night, and hated that they had to put "those dirty, hateful stinky mice" in shifts. "After being driven away so as not to harm the property of the factory...
Veronica felt that she understood what her brother was trying to teach her.
Perhaps in this world, countless manor owners have citizens and slaves, but the way her brother taught her is to have a group of workers whose eyes slowly light up and smiles on their faces.
And when they feel that they are also a part of this factory, when they have a strong sense of belonging, they will burst out the ability to surprise everyone.
Du Changqiu didn't know it at all. Where he didn't notice at all, his eldest sister Veronica learned the most important lesson in management "how to stimulate the subjective initiative of employees" without a teacher.
During this period of time, he has been busy with the research and development of cider and the renovation of the manor—based on the experience of building the toilets of the sugar factory, he finally understood how to remodel the toilets of the manor.
Because of the social atmosphere, the Damon family's manor originally did not have a bathroom, so after becoming Charlie, Du Changqiu could only wipe his body with a towel every day, wash his face and soak his feet, and was never as comfortable as taking a bath.
He has been looking forward to an early solution to this most important cleaning problem.After all, this place is different from the world of orcs. The orc tribes have pure rivers that are not polluted. As for the river water here, Du Changqiu thought about whether he should just go to the river to wash it when he couldn't stand it anymore, and ended up going to the river to test it. , Good guy, not surprisingly, all kinds of bacteria such as Escherichia coli exceeded the standard.
Du Changqiu naturally didn't dare to wash it anymore, if he got some skin disease, in this day and age, no cure could be cured.Later, due to lack of manpower and busy construction of factories, the construction of washrooms in the two densely populated factories had to be prioritized. Du Changqiu just waited and waited until the midwinter came, and finally the group of people finally got the wine. The factory lavatories have been fixed.
At this time, it was already unbearably cold, and it was already deep winter. Du Changqiu did not make any preparations for the drainage in the manor, but chose to rebuild two bathrooms directly.
After hearing from George that Roman Cement had finished building two factories, there was still a lot of surplus. Du Changqiu also enthusiastically told George that he would build a bathtub, and then left it to George to arrange.
At this moment, sugar boiling and a winery were being built in a big way outside, so George came to find him and said that the bathroom at home had been remodeled.
When George found Du Changqiu, Du Changqiu was making a fuss about some irregular lumps of yellow and black.
Just like the apple cider vinegar with several flavors produced by researching and developing apple cider before, this time he obviously made soap according to the method in the data, and every step was correct, but why did the inspection after each fermentation, and the finished product of each batch still come out like this? A shape that deforms when pinched? !
And Fan Xing was still mocking Du Changqiu ruthlessly, "Hahaha, you made shit!"
Du Changqiu saw that his smiling face was disfigured, his arrogance was really unsightly, and anger grew from the bottom of his heart to the side of the gall.
"I remembered, you haven't bathed with soap in your life, have you?!" Du Changqiu narrowed his eyes, showing the expression of grandma wolf.
Fan Xing's face froze, knowing it was not good, she turned around and wanted to slip away, but Du Changqiu grabbed the horns of her head!
Du Changqiu grabbed the calf and won't let it go!
Although the homemade soap he made doesn't know why it looks very ugly, it can't be molded, and the color is not good... But since Fan Xing wants to laugh at him, don't blame him for being rude!
It just so happened that the two of them hadn't taken a bath since they came to this world, and they almost stink!The bathroom just finished, and the soap has fermented and is ready to use...
Thinking about it, Du Changqiu cheerfully dragged Fan Xing, who was very reluctant, to the bathroom.
Bathrooms are naturally separated for men and women. Du Changqiu's bathroom here was rebuilt from a small room not far from him. There are no mature drainage pipes in the manor yet, but when remodeling this bathroom, Du Changqiu had already buried the pipes , If you have money in the future, you only need to connect it.
Of course, there are no convenient pipes that can be fired to pre-buried, so these pipes are all made of stone and Roman cement. This is a bit expensive and troublesome, but it can be used for many years.
In fact, Du Changqiu saw in the materials that the ancient Roman Empire used this method to build an underground drainage system in the park in the 6th century, and that drainage system was still in service until the arrival of the Great Freeze, and persisted for more than 2000 years. The amazing thing is that after the great freeze, humans returned to their homes. It is said that after washing, the West is still using those drainage systems.
After learning about it at the time, Du Changqiu was very emotional while discussing with his friends, these people are really bad guys.
I said that as a joke at the time, but I have to say that I am quite happy to use it.
It is also because of the pre-buried drainage system that it is more convenient for Du Changqiu to bathe Fanxing. After he ordered, a manservant brought hot water and poured buckets of hot water into the big iron bucket. Then Du Changqiu opened the valve. Hot water sprayed down the pipes from his custom-made shower head.
Hull, the only blacksmith in the village, is amazed by Master Charlie's whimsy every time. He has been ingenious all his life, and his armor and saddles have always been the best. He never thought that one day he would make things that he didn't know every time. What is it for.
However, although Hull didn't know the purpose, he was outstanding in craftsmanship. Every time Du Changqiu explained clearly, what he received was exactly the same, and it was the same at this moment. .
Fanxing was unprepared and was sprayed all over his body.
"Don't move!" Fanxing wanted to escape on the spot, but Du Changqiu grabbed his head. Du Changqiu actually didn't have much strength, at least if Fanxing really wanted to run, Du Changqiu would definitely not be able to stop him.
But of course Fanxing will not really struggle with all his strength, because his person is too weak, and Fanxing is afraid of hurting him.
But he really didn't want to take a bath, and was very dissatisfied with it. Du Changqiu was still laughing wildly. The next second, Fanxing swayed his body wildly. Du Changqiu had no time to dodge, and was drenched by the raindrops.
"Don't try to run away! At worst, I'll take a shower with you!" Du Changqiu didn't care at all, he was going to take a bath anyway, and now he grabbed Fan Xing, wet his body carefully, and then rubbed it Rubbing his hands, he excitedly took a shapeless piece of soap and smeared it on Fan Xing's body.
After the white linen robe got wet, it became half-hidden and half-transparent, completely sticking to the body, allowing the curves of the body to be fully revealed.
Charlie's facial features are five points similar to Du Changqiu's, but his figure is eight to nine points similar. They are both very tall and lean. The cloth is glued to it, and you can vaguely see very well-proportioned muscle lines. The waist is very thin, but Because of these clear lines, people don't feel weak, and they clearly know the power it contains.
The golden hair was also wet, sticking to the face, setting off the snow-white skin, like a layer of maple syrup poured on the snow-white milk.
But these are not places that attract Fanxing's eyes. Fanxing's head was on Du Changqiu's chest just now. Through the wet clothes, Fanxing saw the looming skin on Du Changqiu's chest.
Fanxing doesn't pay attention to his person's appearance, because the appearance will change with time, he cares more about the shining soul light in this person's body.
This is a very beautiful soul, clean, powerful, and shining. This soul is far more beautiful and powerful than the body/body he has, so when he is happy, he will have a clean, star-like glow.
Fan Xing likes this kind of glow, he instinctively gets close to such a clean and powerful soul, so he was stunned for a moment.
